Hi Boots,
The first thing that comes to mind is the temperature switch inside the transmission. If it doesn't come up to temperature, it won't go into 4th gear. This would most likely be a faulty...

No problem Oliver,

The parts list is basically just a few small SPDT relays and a switch to turn it on/off.

You can just leave it in “D”, but it will always be better to change gear manually...

spoty_4,

Yes, in 2WD you wouldn’t know that you had one fitted unless the hubs were locked and you would then hear a light clicking sound when cornering. The steering will become a little heavier...

The lokka works like most auto locking diffs. Unlike an air locker or spool, it still allows one wheel to turn faster than the other, but rather than drive the wheel with the least resistance, it...

Something like 90% of the heat generated in an auto trans comes from the torque converter, so it’s always a good idea to keep the converter locked as often as possible.
Some of us use manual...

Yep, that is the best way to do it.
If you find doing all that a bit daunting, then just pull the vacuum hose off the actuator and block it.
I normally just fit a ball bearing into the hose and...

No, no need to drill a hole for the RD28, just remove the butterfly valve pre-cooler.

The RE4R01A was Nissans standard 4 speed auto from the late 80’s and used in virtually all models that had an auto trans option. The RE4R03A is simply a heavy duty version of the R01A. To my...

Thanks Fletcha,
Your Troll's build up is coming along nicely too. It's looking like a well kitted and capable tourer, well done.

3mm plate is way too thick. The original gasket is stainless and less than 1mm, so if you use steel you'd be ok with 1mm thick. If you go too thick, the flange won't line up and you'll need to undo...

Hi snicko,

Another vote here for the Provent. I’ve tried a few different types of crankcase filters and the Provent is by far the most efficient. If you haven’t got any of the gear yet, consider...

Hi Phil,

While I personally haven’t used Delo400, I have done some research on it and I think the info you have is wrong. The Caltex site say’s that Delo400 Multigrade is API CI-4 PLUS, CI-4,...

As close to the turbine as possible will give you quicker readings, but up to 20cm should be ok.
Also, the tip of the pyro is the sensor, so just go in about 10 to 15mm for best results.

Hi Boggy,
No it's not the same. I think from memory the Y60 used pin number 21 on the TCU for the lockup solenoid. You would need to check it with your manual because some other models were...

Nothing too serous in the way of negatives.

The Di will boost a bit higher and needs to have boost adjusted so not to have limp mode on full throttle. The CRD has better control over boost, but...
